Hi all,
Long time M-Audio Delta 44 user here. I love it to bits. So much so that I'm now a loyal M-Audio fan, with an Axiom 61 under my belt, and I even joined the facebook group, hehe. :)
With that, I've just purchased a Delta 1010lt, and to my surprise, it seems to work fine with my original Delta 44 in Ableton Live! Just plug in my instruments, mute the M-Audio control panel, and activate each channel in Ableton that I'm recording. Works great. BUT, I get this weird random buzz noise, kicking in for 1 second every 4 or so minutes,

It's coming through only on the Delta 1010lt. I can't seem to isolate what's causing it either. I've owned my Delta 44 for about 4 years now, and I remember back in the day that I used to have the odd pop or click, but I got all those settings sorted and working fine. Note how this buzz doesn't sound like a pop or click either. Sounds like a discharge or something... I've no idea!
In that recording, the drums are coming through on the 44, whilst the guitar is me playing randomly waiting for the noise on the 1010lt. There is no random distortion on the drums, it's only popping up on the guitar track, random as far as I can tell.
Has anyone heard this type of distortion/buzz before? How did you fix it, cause,
It sounds ugly
it scares the crap out of me each time I hear it cause it's loud!
I gotta record an EP for a mate in a month, I need to get this sorted! :cool:
In speaking to another friend online, he just updated the drivers on his M-Audio Delta 44, and has reported hearing the exact same distortion! He's also running Win XP Service Pack 3. Note that I'm hearing this on the Delta 1010lt channels, it seems to be on all of the input channels too, although I'm still trial and erroring as we speak.
Anyway, I'm new to this hardware, and since these are new drivers out on a new OS service pack, I'd rather report it first than pull my hair out over trying to fix it! My PC is as follows,
Win XP Pro Service Pack 3
Latest M-Audio Drivers - 5.10.0.5069v3
E6600 over clocked to 3200Mhz, stable and low temperature at high loads.
Asus P5B - Deluxe Wi/Fi Motherboard, onboard sound
4 gig of OCZ 800 Ram, 2.97 gigs utilised by windows.
Asus 8800GTS 640 meg
Delta 44
Delta 1010lt
USB Razer Keyboard & Mouse, Samsung LCD Monitor
Hehe, I can remove my overclock for the sake of testing, but I'm pretty sure that it's not my over clock that causing the problem. My PC hasn't crashed on me yet, and right now it's FREEZING here in Sydney Australia, the cpu is running at a cool 20°C , and it's fast too. ;)
